Ostallgäu
Experiences in a regal landscape.
It was the glaciers that shaped the landscape of the Allgäu millions of years ago and, as the ice melted, left behind this unique interplay of rolling hills, mysterious valleys, moors, and lakes, guarded by the rugged Alpine peaks Rocky giants, forested hills, vast meadows, wild rivers, and tranquil lakes.
The Ostallgäu is a natural paradise that captivated “Fairy-Tale King” Ludwig II even as a child. Later, this romantic monarch crowned the landscape with his famous masterpiece, Neuschwanstein Castle. At its foot, nature appears as if it were a landscaped garden designed specifically for this purpose. A place to dream, find inspiration, and create something new. Exploring it on foot or by bike gives you time to immerse yourself deeply in nature and the towns with their many stories, myths, and legends—and, step by step or pedal stroke by pedal stroke, to reconnect with yourself.
Thirteen regional cycling routes, the “Schlossparkradrunde” quality cycling route in the Allgäu, a variety of half-day and full-day hiking tours, and multi-day hiking trails lead to the region’s special natural treasures and local attractions. Free information is available at the region’s tourist information offices or at www.schlosspark.de.
